Not mutagenic or teratogenic (i.e. does not cause cancer or reproductive problems).
Dimethyl forminide, a solvent in the formulation, has caused embryotoxicity at high doses in animal studies.
Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) -
23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:
Nausea, vomiting, convulsions.
24. FIRST AID:
If SWALLOWED - Rinse mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.
If in EYES - Irrigate for 15 minutes with plenty of water. See a doctor.
